Following a 3-year tour in the US Army right out of high school, I pursued internships in Federal and state agencies, while in college. I married my fiancé, Veronica, while pursuing my undergraduate degree at Virginia State University, and after graduating in 1997, I took my first professional job at The American Legion, Department of Virginia. My wife and I later pursued professional careers in Washington, DC in 2000, and we welcomed our first son, Ethan, in July of that year. By 2005, I was managing human capital programs in one of the largest Federal agencies, when we greeted, Evan, the final addition to our two-child household.
